    Every once in awhile you come across a little piece of software that is as simple as it needs to be and no simpler - something as unobtrusive as it is valuable that makes you ask how you got by without it. Termite: a simple RS232 terminal[^] I've used PuTTY. I've used Telix. I've used all kinds of terminal software, and for my money is easily the best one out there, precisely because it doesn't do much. It's an installess executable so it's an easy tool to work with in the field when you have to pop a serial probe on a board or something and you're using someone else's lappy. It's reliable as all heck, which is gold when you're using it to debug other things. You don't have to second guess anything. It doesn't reformat your serial data or anything high level. If it can't read your COM port, it's a hardware issue.

      In Italian "termite" is "thermite" and I was trying to figure out what did you need to EXPLODE!

        Good to know, thank you. I'm used to PuTTY (and, to a lesser extent, RealTerm).

          I used HyperTerminal, PuTTY, Termite and others, in the end got fed up and rolled my own. The install free peaks my interest no need for admin rights? and it handles interrupts with out the HAL getting in the way... tell me more!

            No current need, I have been using Putty to connect to my OpenVMS systems most recently. How about logging and slow text file send?

              Termite is good, but when used with tree controls.

              Do not escape reality : improve reality !

                  If you want something slightly more advanced I strongly recommend "PComm Lite" from MOXA. It's free and can do much more, including TCP/IP. :) It's currently available here: https://cdn-cms.azureedge.net/getmedia/188a99a0-fff8-4c18-ae0c-90768d10a90f/moxa-pcomm-lite-utility-v1.6.zip[^]

                    Is is just for COM ports? Does it do file transfer (hyperthing type) stuff? Guess I should try it and stop wasting your time.

                      Not sure how to read and/or interpret your sentence... but for sure... the English term "termite" translates into the Italian term "termite". They are pronounced differently, but the two words refer precisely to the very same thing - an insect...

                        Termite in italian is also the explosive Termite (miscela incendiaria) - Wikipedia[^]. Since it was capitalized it couldn't be confused with termite as the common noun.
